114-136
MAKE SURE YOU NUMBER YOUR CARDS!!!
Question (Front of Card) Answer (Back of Card)
114. What are the ingredients for photosynthesis? Carbon dioxide, water, sunlight.
115. What are the products of photosynthesis? Sugar, oxygen gas.
116. Where in a plant cell does photosynthesis Chloroplast
happen?
117. Where in a plant does photosynthesis happen? Leaf
118. What are the ingredients for respiration? Oxygen, food
119. What are the products of respiration? Carbon dioxide, energy (ATP), water
120. Where in a cell does respiration happen? Mitochondrion
121. What gas is released during photosynthesis? Oxygen
122. If humans chop down all the trees in a city, how Oxygen will decrease
will that impact the amount of oxygen in the air?
123. If humans chop down all the trees in a city, how Amount of carbon dioxide will increase.
will that impact the amount of carbon dioxide in
the air?
124. What does aerobic mean? With oxygen.
125. What does anaerobic mean? Without oxygen.
126. What would be the effect on mitochondria if Mitochondria could not work because they require
there was no oxygen? oxygen to function.
127. Which type of respiration produce the most Aerobic respiration.
energy – aerobic or anaerobic?
128. When does the amount of respiration increase, When organisms need more oxygen to break down
and why? more food to get more energy.
129. What process removes carbon dioxide from the Photosynthesis
air?
130. What organisms perform photosynthesis? Plants and some protists.
131. What organisms perform respiration? Plants and animals (both have mitochondria).
Technically, bacteria can perform respiration too, on the
folds of their plasma membrane.
132. What sugar does a chloroplast make? Glucose
133. Do lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic No
fermentation make much energy?
134. When do your muscles perform lactic acid When you are low on oxygen so you can’t perform
fermentation? aerobic respiration. This helps you break down a little
bit of glucose so you can get some ATP, but not much.
135. Why do mitochondria need to have so many The folds increase the surface area of the inside of the
folds? mitochondrion so it can break down more glucose and
make more ATP.
136. If the amount of carbon dioxide decreases, what The amount of glucose will decrease because carbon
happens to the amount of glucose that a plant can dioxide is an ingredient of photosynthesis.
make?
